salem. There is a tradition that he
preached at Rome also, and was cru
cited with st. Paul. Upon James
the Greater, as afterwards upon
James The Less, devolved the gov
ernment of the church at Jerusalem.
He was the FIRST Apostolic martyr
and vas put to death by Herod
Agrippa, who, to please the Jews,
had him slain with q sword. John
was ERE eminently the beloved disei-
pie. He was the youngest and lived
the longest of them all, being the
only n of them that died a natural
death. AT the Passover feast he re-
clined next TO Jesus and inquired
who 1t was that should betray Him.
He seems to have possessed as
much warmth as Peter and far
more firmness. He stood by Jesus
at the cross and bore witness to all
his sufferings and sayings. 1t was
to him the Lord committed His
mother. He was with Peter In both the
the temple aud prison, went with him
into Samaria and returned to labor
at Jerusalem. Upon Pau!'s death
he went to Ephesus. During the
reign of Domitian he was banished to
Patmos. Under Nerva he returned
to Ephesus and died at that place.
He wrote the Gospel, three Episties
and the Book of Revelation, all Of
which, Independent of their insp,ra-
ton and relation to spiritual and
eternal interests and judged by
merely human tests, are more deeply
interesting than other writings. No
other poetry or prose exceeds them
in sublimity Of thought or express
sion !; no other system of morality or
worship approaches them in pureness
and spirituality. They embrace mys-
teries the highest angels cannot fully

The President of the United
States and the Governor Of Penn
sylvania are assailed simultaneously
with cries for extra sessions. At
Washington the complaint is of too
much revenue in the Treasury. At
Harrisburg there is just the oppo-
site complaint, to wit, that the fall
ure of the Revenue bill will leave
the State without sufficient resour-
ces. But the financial authorities
declare that the extra session can be
dispensed with in both cases. Ex-
tras of this sort are expensive luxur-
les to the party that INDUCES in
them.

The only persons who find fault
with the Presidents order of last
week, abolishing twenty-five inter-
nal revenue collection districts by
consolidating them with other dis
tricts, are the collectors who will
be turned out of office. The peo-
pie will heartily approve the order,
because it will save to the country
$4,000 year, sum which is
worth saving, especially as the SER
vice can be as promptly, efficiently
and certainly performed under the
new arrangement as under the old.
There is one good feature or fact
about the order-the change cannot
be ascribed to partisanship, the mo
tive being economic rather than po-
litical. The men who will lose their
offices are Democrats chiefly, and
Mr.. Cleveland cannot be accused OF
strengthening his political strikers
by reducing their number.

A contemporary asks "What is
the worst sinner, the man who can
sing and won't, or the man who
can't sing and will The Balti-
more american thinks it does not
require much mental worry to ar
rive at an answer. The first man
may refrain on account of modesty
or he may not be feeling we'll or he
may fear that he will provoke un-
pleasant jealousness. We cannot
condemn him for silence. But the
second fellow-the man who can't
sing and still attempts to sing, the
man in whose soul no music dwells,
but who, nevertheless, imagines
that he is a prince of soloist-what
language can do him justice !
Doesn't he add to the burdens of
life ? Doesn't he often cast around
a room a gloom so thick that it has
to be shoveled out ? Doesn't he
fatigue federation and discourage
patience +? Yes, yes, there must be
some punishment in the dim here
after for the man who can't sing

"RELIGIoN is rapidly disappear

ture in Washington last week, a
statement which elected applause
from a portion of the audience.
This declaration may be true, but
if so, DR.. McGlynn is one of the
men responsible for the disappear
ance. He processes to be a Chris
tian, and d lifelong teacher of relig-
ion, and yet he openly confesses ad-
miration for the chief infidel of the
nation, and speaks at meetings with
Bob. Ingersoll. McGlynn also
openly repudiates the teachings of
Christ that man can do what he
wills with his own, and proclaims
doctrines as inconsistent with re-
ligion as they are unreasonable and
dishonest. DR.. McGlynn, while
protesting deep religious convictions
has done and is doing all he can tc
bring about the disappearance Of
